Abstract
A cylinder block is detachably connected to a transmission casing so that an engine and a transmission constitutes a single unit. A crankshaft is entirely supported on the cylinder block. A crankshaft gear is installed on the crankshaft at the nearly central portion thereof. An intermediate shaft with an idler gear and an idler shaft with an input gear are entirely supported on the transmission casing in such a way that the idler gear and input gear are meshed with each other. The crankshaft gear and idler gear are automatically meshed with each other when the cylinder block is installed in place on the transmission casing.
